Nantianmen Project: Starting from Love Apartment

"Then what should I do?" Lu Zhanbo asked.

Xiao Jie pondered for a moment.

Lu Zhanbo looked at Xiao Jie expectantly.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it after the Yanzhou Ding is built." Xiao Jie said.

Lu Zhanbo staggered.

Xiao Jie looked at Lu Zhanbo who almost fell down, and asked curiously: "Zhanbo, what happened to you?"

"Nothing... nothing." Lu Zhanbo said.

"Don't worry, I will help you after the Yanzhou Ding is completed. But I have to tell you in advance that Wanyu is the kind of person who doesn't want to force others or be forced by others. Moreover, she is a person who yearns for freedom. This can be seen from the fact that she ran away from home to avoid the marriage arranged by her family." Xiao Jie said.

Lu Zhanbo looked at Xiao Jie in confusion.

Xiao Jie saw Lu Zhanbo's confusion, so he explained: "Wanyu is like a free bird, yearning for the vast sky, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Lu Zhanbo still didn’t understand.

Xiao Jie had no choice but to continue explaining, "This shows that Wanyu may not be bound by the daily necessities of life, because she will stick to something to the end, just like when you first came, Wanyu ran around looking for that virtual love apartment. Maybe in the future she will leave you for something."

After hearing what Xiao Jie said, Lu Zhanbo fell silent.

Xiao Jie looked at the silent Lu Zhanbo, stood up, patted his shoulder and said:

"Go back and think about it carefully."

After saying that, he moved the chair back to the office.

Only Lu Zhanbo was left there, thinking about something.

……

The next day

In the early morning, the sun shone through the window into the room. Xiao Jie stretched and got up from the bed. He walked into the bathroom, quickly finished washing up, stepped out of the room with renewed energy, and walked towards the dining car.

Coming to the dining car, Xiao Jie picked up a cup of steaming soy milk and three fragrant meat buns, found a quiet corner and squatted down, while admiring the busy construction team not far away, he leisurely enjoyed this simple and delicious breakfast.

Just as Xiao Jie was eating with gusto, a familiar figure appeared in front of him—Wu Shan was walking towards him, leading a photographer carrying a camera.

Seeing this, Xiao Jie smiled and greeted him, "Hey, Secretary Wu, why are you here so early?"

Wu Shan responded with a smile: "Haha, I'm not worried about delaying the viewing of the national audience, so I got up early and rushed over!"

After saying that, he also squatted down beside Xiao Jie and took a bite of the bun in his hand without any hesitation.

Xiao Jie asked curiously: "Didn't you go home to rest last night?"

Wu Shan shook his head and replied, "No, I just stayed here overnight. It's more convenient for live broadcasting."

Xiao Jie took another sip of soy milk and continued to ask: "What about other things in the city?"

Wu Shan said casually: "Leave it to the mayor to handle."

Then, Xiao Jie seemed to suddenly remember something and suggested: "In fact, this live broadcast can be done by drones."

However, Wu Shan waved his hand to show that he disagreed with this idea. He explained seriously:

“That would be easier, but who would give the audience live commentary? We can’t let a cold machine communicate with everyone on our behalf!”

"Secretary Wu is so dedicated!" Xiao Jie exclaimed sincerely.

"There's no other way. This is a golden opportunity for Lishui City to turn things around. I must do my best to seize it. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the people of this city?" Wu Shan replied firmly.

After hearing this, Xiao Jie nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this Yanzhou Ding is definitely a great development opportunity for your Lishui."

Wu Shan raised his wrist to glance at his watch, and hurriedly swallowed the breakfast in his hand. Then he stood up and said to Xiao Jie, "President Xiao, I'm sorry, I have to start the live broadcast right away."

"Okay, go ahead." Xiao Jie nodded in understanding.

So Wu Shan left with the photographer and went somewhere else to prepare to start the live broadcast.

Xiao Jie, on the other hand, was still squatting there leisurely and contentedly, eating the buns with relish.

At this moment, Mr. Qian and Mr. Shi each came over slowly, holding a steaming hot breakfast in their hands, and asked curiously:

"Xiao Jie, why don't you sit on a nice chair instead of squatting on this cold floor to eat?"

Xiao Jie was eating heartily while grinning and replied, "Hey, you don't know, eating while squatting like this has a different flavor!"

"I really can't understand you, kid." The two elders shook their heads helplessly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jie quickly changed the subject and asked with concern: "Why did the two teachers get up so early?"

"Early? We always get up at this time." Mr. Qian looked indifferent.

"It's already early. Young people nowadays are all sleeping in bed at this time." Xiao Jie said.

"That's because they all play with their cell phones until one or two in the morning before going to bed. When we were young, we didn't have cell phones, so we usually went to bed at eight or nine. Over time, it became a habit." said the old teacher.

"Yes, by the way, teachers, how did you get through the days in the past?" Xiao Jie asked curiously.

"Well... now I think about it! When I was young, I went to study in the United States. Life was simple back then. I basically spent the whole day in the library, immersed in the sea of ​​books. At night, I would go back to the dormitory, take a shower, and fall asleep. Later, I set up a small laboratory with several roommates, and we often got together to do some interesting experiments.

In the 1950s, the country was in urgent need of talents to return to China to serve. I was eager to return to China, but unfortunately I was placed under house arrest by the United States. It was a very difficult time. Every morning when I woke up, I would repeatedly simulate various experimental operations in my mind until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before going to bed. This continued day after day, year after year, until the country finally rescued me and sent me back to China.

After returning to China, I immediately devoted myself to the construction of my motherland. Time flies, and a lifetime is about to pass in the blink of an eye..." Mr. Qian recounted his past experiences with deep emotion.

"Haha, my experience is quite similar to Lao Qian's. I studied hard when I was young, and immediately threw myself into the country's construction wave after graduation. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have not stopped until now!" The old teacher responded with a smile.

After hearing what the two teachers said, Xiao Jie was filled with awe.

"Speaking of which, we have done many satisfying things in our lives, but the most satisfying thing is teaching students like you." Mr. Qian said with a smile.

"Yes, being able to teach a student like you is the most satisfying thing in my life." The teacher sighed.

"Hehe, teacher, please stop praising me. I'm almost blushing." Xiao Jie said embarrassedly.

"Boy, who would have thought that the little kid with a childish face, who was not even ten years old, has now become a world-famous scientist." Old Qian sighed.

"I still remember when I got my first injection of the Source of Life, I kept wondering who invented such a miraculous medicine. Then a long time later, the then Minister of Science and Technology brought this kid to my house and asked me to teach him. I was reluctant at the time, and then he said that this kid was the inventor of the Source of Life. I was dumbfounded when I heard that." Mr. Shi recalled.
